What you need:

1 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
2 Tbsp cream of tartar
2 Tsp food coloring
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup water

What to do:

  1. Mix the flour, salt, and cream of tarter in a medium pot
  2. Add water, food coloring and oil
  3. Stir consistently over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Don't worry if the mixture looks like a lumpy mess, it will turn into dough
  4. When the mixture forms a ball in the center of the pot, turn off the stove and let it cool. Then take it out of the pot and put it onto a floured surface. Knead it several times.
  5. Store in a ziploc bag or airtight container in the fridge.
